I played game after game as a kid and find the idea of coming up with 9 to go with the best ever is hard. The best being Super Mario 3. I mean, he could fly, people! I remember the first time I saw him take flight with the little music playing behind him. I guess I would throw Sonic on the list because it was my first Sega game and Pac-Man because it was my first Atari. No, wait. My first Atari was Breakout. Lol.
